Although fairly tired I'm keen to see the Botanical Gardens at Strybing Arboretum since I missed out on the Conservatory of Flowers. It's free entry to the large park divided into themes. I walk around for ages trying to find the Garden of Fragrance as recommended in my guidebook. When I do find it by repeatedly retracing my steps according to the map I have, I find out I have walked past it several times before. I'm disappointed. However I fall in love with the Moon-Viewing Garden which has a wooden platform for viewing the autumn moon. Magnolias, Japanese Maples, and Camellia hybrids surround the reflecting pond giving the garden a magical feel.
